August 13-19

After the excitement of last week's activities, this week calms back down for the local Tupelonians.  However, Elvis festivities have not yet ended.  The Birthplace is expecting more than twenty buses of tourists coming to visit the house in which Elvis was born, as well as the museum, church, and new renovations that include a theater.  Last Thursday, a new statue of Elvis was unveiled at Fairpark.  If you're in town, stop by and take a picture with the King.  And speaking of the King, this week the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau will be headed to Graceland and setting up booths at the Elvis Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday and the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition on Friday and Saturday.  If you're there, come see us and pick up a fan, guitar pick, or magnet.  Have a great week!
